Jumping Rope for Exercise

Leave a reply

Jumping Rope Isn’t Just for Kids

Looking to raise the “fun quotient” in your exercise routine?  Go old school and incorporate the jump rope into your workout routine. Jumping rope is as good for your physical fitness as it is for your monthly budget.  All you need is a $10 jump rope and a flat, open space to get started. Jumping rope is a great cardio workout that improves balance, coordination, and agility.

Some jump rope tips from Marty Winkler, co-owner of RopeSport:

  • Use some wrist and forearm when turning the rope. Make small circles or a cranking motion. Keep your hands level with your hips—don’t move them higher or lower.
  • Jump only an inch or two off the ground. Don’t make big jumps, and try to land softly.
  • Push off from and land on the balls of the feet. Your heels should just tap the ground.
  • Relax your neck and shoulders and avoid hunching.
  • Keep your elbows bent, as if you were holding a curl bar. A rope that’s too long will pull your elbows away from your torso.
  • Breathe normally. You should be able to have a conversation with someone while you’re jumping.

Number of calories burned (for a person weighing 155 pounds*): Slow jumping burns 9.4 calories per minute and 281 calories per half hour. Moderate jumping burns 11.7 calories per minute and 352 calories per half hour. And if you really get cooking, fast jumping burns 14 calories per minute and 422 calories per half hour.

Caution: Be sure to consult your physician before starting any physical fitness routine.

Burn Off a Bowl of Ice Cream

Tip of the Day: What It Takes to Burn Off a Bowl of Ice Cream

Yup, I get it: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. But if your ice-cream habit involves a permanent stash of Ben and Jerry’s in your freezer, you’ve got a challenge. While an occasional treat won’t kill you, eating ice cream every day—even once a week—can be a diet buster.

Let’s look at how much your favorite indulgence will set you back. Vanilla Ice Cream Calories: 460 for one cup

Exercise equivalent: Walking, biking, or running

 • Walking: 103 minutes

 • Biking: 49 minutes

 • Running: 49 minutes

Walking two hours makes that ice cream less of a treat, doesn’t it? You can still have ice cream from time to time, but look for low-fat varieties and keep your portion sizes to no more than a half cup. Source: Diet Detective
